Make Magazine Subscription Now Available

Posted by michael on from the build-your-own dept.

Jac_no_k writes "O'Reilly's Make magazine is now taking subscription orders. They have an offer for one bonus 'mook' by using the offer code 'M5ZXML'. Their description: 'MAKE is a new hybrid magazine/book ("mook") published quarterly by O'Reilly. MAKE brings the do-it-yourself mindset to all the technology in your life. MAKE is loaded with exciting projects that help you make the most of your technology at home and away from home. It follows in line with the Hacks books and Hardware Hacking Projects, but it takes a highly visual and personal approach.'" If the quality of the magazine is the same as their technical books, this should be a worthwhile subscription.

    Not sure we need another dumb-sounding buzzword for something that has been around for more than 90 years. "Afred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, "Weird Tales", "Astounding"...all of those old anthology magazines so little different from anthology books. Especially the issues with a single novella.

    If the Mook is cool enough with lots of ideas, then a reader with an adequate IQ should be able to adapt ideas given to applications he wants to do.
    i.e. there is a mention about kite-photography, what if you have a RC plane and dont want to build a kite? is it useless information now? no, it's an idea and you adapt it to your plane.
    come on, have some spunk.

    Before you think different, think.
